Introduction to the Seven Last Plagues
Revelation 15






    This 15th chapter is an introduction to the 7 last plagues found in the next chapter. A key point to consider is the fact that "one" of the "four beasts" (A redeemed person from planet earth) has a part to play in the final pouring out of God's wrath. Remember now, this redeemed person was raised to life when Jesus arose from the grave, then taken to Heaven when Jesus returned to Heaven.  Then, in 1844, when judgment began in Heaven, this "one beast" and the other three "beasts" occupied their important positions in that heavenly tribunal. Now that this phase of the judgment  is over, this "seed" of fallen Adam gives "unto the seven angels, seven golden vials full of the wrath of God." Rev. 15:7.  This redeemed person handles the vials of "God's wrath" against Adams seed who have said "No" to heaven's offer of redemption. Mankind is considered by heaven, even in the pouring out of the 7 last plagues.  The amount each person will suffer in the general destruction of the wicked, is in part determined by a person who once lived on this earth.

    The harmony that now exists in heaven by those living there, is absent on this planet, even among God's professed people, harmony has taken a back seat.  Those of us today who long for such unity among "God's people," will get a glimpse of unity during the Loud Cry period.  Because the true saints then, "will draw together and present to the enemy a united front." 6 Testimonies 401.

    But now up in heaven "These heavenly beings, in executing the mandate of God, ask no questions, but do as they are bid.  Jehovah of hosts, the Lord God Almighty, the just, the true, and the Holy, has given them their work to do."  Testimonies to Ministers 432.  Dear ones, heaven has given each one of us our work to do for Him, if only we would put our hand to the plow, ask no questions and never look back, we would find the joy and contentment lacking in those professing Christian lives today.  True joy and contentment is not found in having a checking account so large it could never be depleted.  True joy and contentment is the result of knowing that you have been obedient to each one of heaven's instructions, and having no unconfessed sins on the ledger.  There are some who know exactly what I'm talking about, today they are scattered and fragmented, "thrust with side and with sholder.Ez. 34:21.  But they know from their past experience, of how tender God's care has always been with them.  This experience proven over and over, Satan can never erase.  NEVER!
